Approve Abatement Agreement for 5431 164th Ln NW  (PID13-32-25-22-0004)

The property has been subject to numerous complaints regarding code violations on the property.    During the summer, the City conducted a forced abatement on the property where the cost exceeded $9,000.00 and did not resolve the existing code violations.  Since then, staff has provided dumpsters for the homeowner who has worked to fill them. However, he is currently no longer physically able to do so.  In an effort to help our residents, staff worked to change the code to allow for abatement agreements in an effort to help homeowners clean up their properties voluntarily. 

Due to the waiting period of thirty (30) days from adoption of our new abatement ordinance, we would like to request approval of the abatement agreement for this property owner to be effective January 1st, 2023. 

This abatement agreement will authorize staff to obtain dumpsters and labor as the home owner requests to abate all of the code violations and to bring the property into compliance.     

Notification is not required.

All costs will be assessed to property taxes.

Staff recommends approval of Abatement Agreement for 5431 164th Ln NW.
